Super Kaiju enters Early Access

The Early Access release of Super Kaiju is here! We are extremely excited to get new players into the game, and to hear your feedback. Being an Early Access game, some of the feature are still a little rough around the edges (or even missing). But rest assured, we are determined to push out frequent updates to the game to bring it to a level where it is the most intense competitive multiplayer VR game on the market.

How to play:

Super Kaiju is a first person arena shooter where two players utilize the power of giant Kaiju’s in a battle to the death. The end goal is simple, destroy the other player before he destroys you.

You start the battle holding two weapons, one in each hand. These weapons are not very effective against the enemy Kaiju in the early part of the match so you need to use different ways to damage the enemy and gain power. The battlefield is full of all sorts of flying creatures that you can shoot down in order to gain stars. Gain enough stars and you’ll be able to activate powerful abilities that can turn the tide of the battle. These flying creatures come in all shapes and sizes and some are very difficult to destroy. Luckily your weapons have the ability to suck up special bomb minions that are running around the play area. These bombs can be used to take out the strongest of the flying threats and can even be used to do a decent amount of damage to the enemy Kaiju.

Our first release includes:

- 2x different types of Kaiju’s (Robot and Crab)
- 3x types of flying monsters to charge the powerful abilities
- 3x visually stunning battlefields
- 2x Power ups (Health/Damage boost)
- Shield bubble ability that protects you for a short amount of time
- Missile Barrage ability that allows you to inflict massive damage on your opponent

Known issues:

- If there are any performance problems, try changing the graphics setting to low from the cog wheel button in the lobby.
- The game is fresh out the door so there are not a lot of players on our servers yet. If you can’t find a match in multiplayer, then we suggest practicing your skills in single player for a little while so once there are enough players you can crush them in battle.
- There is no UI to quit while in a battle. So you’ll either need to stick it out and finish, or restart the application.
- The Ability intro text on the Snow Battlefield blends into the background so it’s very hard to read.
